Abstract
In an industrial automation environment, a three-tier architecture is used to offload human-machine-interaction (HMI) automation tasks to local mobile devices and then the cloud, to take advantage of distributed computing and processing resources and to add new features to the HMI panel system. A scheduling algorithm based on the characteristics of the HMI tasks distributes these tasks intelligently among the local HMI panel, mobile devices and the cloud, to best utilize the merits of each tier.
